Outdoor furniture can take a beating from the elements, leaving it looking faded and worn. A few simple steps can help restore the shine to your outdoor furniture, so it looks like new again.
Cleaning
The first step to restoring the shine is cleaning the furniture. Start by wiping down the surface of the furniture with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent mixed with warm water to create a cleaning solution. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away dirt and debris.
Rinse with clean water and allow the furniture to dry completely before moving on to step two.
Polishing
Once your outdoor furniture is clean and dry, you can start polishing it. Choose a good quality metal polish designed for outdoor use and follow the instructions on the packaging. Apply a thin layer of polish onto a clean cloth or sponge and rub in small circles until you’ve covered all areas of your furniture. Allow the polish to sit for 10-15 minutes before buffing off with another clean cloth or sponge.
Protecting
Lastly, it’s important to protect your newly polished outdoor furniture from further wear and tear. The best way to do this is by applying a coat of wax or sealant designed for outdoor use. This will help keep your furniture looking shiny and new for longer.
Conclusion
Getting the shine back on your outdoor furniture is easy if you follow these three simple steps: cleaning, polishing, and protecting. With just a little bit of elbow grease, you can make your outdoor furniture look like new again!
